The last thing in the world you would want is to find your Jimmy being sold next to a broken toaster being sold for $22, and have to talk the guy down to $17. Just make sure you take it home and wash it off, then you should feel complete again.

Seriously, would it have killed them to make the USB a little more obviously asymmetric, like firewire? It's especially annoying when you're buried in a rack with very little light trying to hook stuff up.

Also, fark Logitech for abandoning bluetooth. Not really relevant, just had to say it.

I saw them in concert once, their guitarist looked like Sam Kinison added 200 lbs, and some completely stoned girl spent half the concert with her hand in my pants.

I didn't pay a doctor to slit holes in my nuts and fish around inside to tug out the little strings to cut them and tie knots in them and stuff them back in and sew up the holes with a needle and thread so I could wear a "Jimmy" while I bang my wife of 19 years.

Great on the HIV but POO on the USB. It was designed so that it CAN BE attempted upside down. Good design means either it's quite obvious which way is correct or (even better) insert it either way and it just works.

Yeah, but the guys that she's banging on the side, may not be wearing a jimmy either.

TheGogmagog:The Angry Hand of God: BetterMetalSnake: Cue for the hoard of farkers who have never used thier USB connectors the wrong way and have no idea WTF is wrong with the rest of loosers in 3..2..1..

Shiat. I fried a USB drive sticking it in backwards. The drive only had a little plastic piece with the contacts, and nothing to prevent you from plugging it in the wrong way.

You want to see the contacts face up, or forward when inserting it. For 'normal' USB connections, the seam should also be away from you. I check it 90% of the time before inserting it.

I also check the arrow on the gas gauge of my car when pulling into the gas station I have two cars with tanks on opposite sides.

I do have a hell of a time getting the charger into the phones in poor lighting conditions.

This was in a vertical slot. I was pretty drunk when I did that. Needless to say, I have never done it since.

You know that Intel commercial where the inventor of the USB walks in to the cafeteria? If I were there, I'd grab him by the feet and shove his head in to a garbage can. Then, I'd pull him out, flip him over and push him back in. "How do you like that? Is that fun?"

/Kidding!//I'm sure they are wearing one.

Then it won't matter when I systematically torture and eventually kill them since I'm just gonna die from the aids anyhow. Right? Right?

Actually the symbol on the connector is supposed to line up with the symbol on the host. From what I remember of the spec though, that's a "should" and not a "must". Hence the farked up world in which we live.
